29 March 1917

"On the whole, we will not dispute the peace programme"...

Martyner:
"We will not dispute the tasks in principle."
But a "template" has been given, "simplified," "utopian"...
"Suzdal-like"...
"Diplomatically": "not to overthrow"
"Lenin wavers"...

"It turned out that it was necessary to separate"
The main thing: h o w to achieve it? He doesn't say?
As in Berlin. (Passed over in silence)...
"Is imperialism f a t a l?" they can stop it...
"A stage":
in order for them to stop,
o n e m u s t demand...
"D o n ' t h u r r y," comrade Lenin, we still don't have a republic, we still don't have an 8-hour working day
So that Kerensky should overthrow Milyukov
not an atom of trust
"make a prince out of mud"
Kiselev: In Martov there's a simplification "either war will kill the revolution, or the revolution will kill the war"...
In Lenin it's better, more correct: European revolution...
...I'm all for the Petersburg duma, but I'm putting off the Constituent Assembly...

A b r a m o v i c h: "distrust of Tsereteli"...
An absurd piece in the "Times"...
It's not enough to pull left; one must reckon with the balance of forces...
"Let us not, in 50 years, repeat the experience of the Commune"...
When was it written 28/V 1871 about the Commune? When they were dragging its name through mud!!
...|and the 2nd Address 9/IX 1870...|

Zivildienstpflicht... Kriegsozialismus?? (Legiens and Renners for it, but radicals against)...
NB The S o v i e t o f W o r k e r s ' D e p u t a t e s is on the right track...
(1) Immediate convocation of the Constituent Assembly
(2) Immediately begin n e g o t i a t i o n s about peace...
To think that communes will replace the Constituent Assembly — that's Blanquism (in Lenin)
"Marxism"

H e l l e r: (a) hunger? will disappear
(β) war? 18 gubernii and Finland.
(leave to the Prussians)
(γ) Belgium

Semkovsky: Declaration = American advertisement.
Doesn't match the content...
Simplicity,
superficially...
"A credible f a l s e w i t n e s s," who slandered Tsereteli... stitched with white thread...
(German press distorted the telegram...)...
2 points against Tsereteli |three little rooms in the referent's head!... (1) appeal for trust... \lie\...
NB (2) telegram about the tsar \S k o b e l e v? yes\
... Smash counter-revolutionary forces, disorganize... in the hands of counter-revolution.
(Kasso) ((+−))...
"Defeatism"...
d i s t r u s t... (3rd telegram)...
Russian Kautsky = Kerensky (sense of humor absent...)
Tsereteli, so, t o t h e l e f t of Rosa Luxemburg ((Borchardt = Lenin))...
The struggle for peace is put forward as the central task
("priestly business")
Dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry = Lenin + Kerensky.
Social-democracy should not be in the government...
Commune = vague idea... And Tsereteli
Tsereteli wants...
..."Old factional scores"...

M a r t o v:
document from Tsereteli (from I §§)
— § 3 ((i l l i t e r a t e transmission...))...
= Oversight Committee, poorly expressed, in one's own words...
----------- "miracle" — symptomatically a n d e x t r e m e l y i n c o r r e c t |"Anglo-French imperialism" stood behind it!.
((aa)) "Miracle" = F r e n c h - A n g l i s h imperialism
|
||Tsereteli's conduct...||
||social-pacifism...
|||Three currents in t h e S o v i e t o f W o r k e r s ' D e p u t a t e s |||
|||The Constituent Assembly and t h e S o v i e t o f W o r k e r s ' D e p u t a t e s
Entry into the Provisional Government.
Did not enter
Four: (1) reviews from "Times"... "Le Temps"
(3) § 3...
trifles (2) Skobelev's trip
One should
take
(4) social-pacifism...
